The four-hundred-year-old Archduke Joseph diamond, which fits snugly into the palm of an adult's hand, weighs a staggering 76.02 carats. And, when the half-inch thick sparkler goes under the hammer at Christie's, in Geneva, on November 13, it is set to fetch more than $15million. The gem is named after its original owner Archduke Joseph August, who was the highest ranking official in the Kingdom of Hungary during the 19th century. It originated from India's now defunct Golconda mine, sharing its origins with some of the world's most impressive diamonds including the Kohinoor, part of the British Royal Collection and the Regent, which is the centerpiece of the French Crown Jewels.
